The Time Machine is an interesting story. To appreciate it, I think one must consider the time in which it was written. My problem is with the Audible narration. Munro's cadence makes it almost unbearable to listen to. Not at all what I would expect from a Professional Narration. Perhaps this was a one-time problem. If the price for the narration would have been more than one dollar, I would definitely request a refund.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Time Machine to be better than the print version?

No, but it's definitely better than the movie version with Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimieux. It's much more a view of elitism and workers and the evolution of two separate species of man because of that.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Time Machine?

When the Time Traveler figures out that his initial views are wrong about the Eloi and the Underground apes. Mr. Wells was quite a socialist in his views of right and wrong. I enjoyed his take on what the future could hold for us all.

What does Alan Munro bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I can do my housework while I listen. I love all audible books because of that fact.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Time enough, or time will tell.

This book was an excellent bargain at $.49 on audible. It's a quick listen and a classic story. What else could you ask for?

His constant pausing as he read was annoying and sometimes occurred in odd places. This weird style affected my enjoyment of the story.

Written over a 100 years ago, The Time Machine is still one of the greatest science fiction titles ever, in my opinion. Why I was not forced to read this in high school, instead of the tired old 'classics,' is beyond me! After seeing many movies based on this book, I really wanted to read the source material and finally did last night. I finished it in less than four hours. The symbolism of the future was clear, but beyond that it is also a really good tale. This is how scifi should read with adventure and suspense around every corner. In addition, Wells' superb use of language helped this rise above the slew of wannabe sci-fi books put out there today. This would be required reading in my world and I can't believe I waited so long to read it!!
